The director of the Robarts Centre, Colin Coates, recently wrote a short article for the website activehistory.ca on the federal government's withdrawal of funding and at the same time interference in international Canadian Studies work. This post has received a great deal of interest through Twitter and Facebook.

Co-organizers Boyd Cothran and Carolyn Podruchny would like to invite you to the Winter schedule of the inaugural season of the History of Indigenous Peoples Network.

The HIP Network, part of the Robarts Centre, brings together junior and senior scholars, undergraduate and graduate students, and independent researchers and is devoted to cultivating a community of scholars working on Indigenous history at York University and throughout southern Ontario.

Congratulations to Professors Anna Hudson (Visual Arts and Art History, School of Arts, Media, Performance and Design) and Fuyuki Kurasawa (Sociology, LA&PS), who have both been appointed to positions as York Research Chairs.

Prof. Hudson is a member of the Robarts Executive, and is the Principal Investigator on the SSHRC-funded Partnership Grant, Mobiliziing Inuit Cultural Heritage, which is run through the Centre.

Professors Hudson and Kurasawa are both Associates of the Robarts Centre.
